Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Linux and Windows 10 problems

It does not have to be Mint disk. Any rescue or Live disk or USB key will rewrite grub. Most computers will boot to CD without changing anything on BIOS. I have upgraded several computers to Windows 10 and grub was unaffected. It may depend on how you installed out upgraded. I don't know.

Google rewrite grub2 for the commands.

That would not be so bad, but I also lost the boot menu where you pick what drive you want to use. So, I tried to run the Mint live disk and can't get it to run....can't get into the bios either. This has me stumped. I have to get access to the bios or I can't do anything. F2 and f12 don't work either. Some help please.

There is probably some way to get into the BIOS. You might try doing that
and seeing if secure boot is enabled. Or, perhaps Windows 10 has some new
thing or changed the partitioning enough to break things.
